History

Established in 1992.

Bradley’s Military was established in 1992 by William G. McKinney in Watertown, New York. Initially Bradley’s specialized in used military uniforms & equipment.

By 1994 Bradley’s expanded its product line to include: new military items, rank, patches, medals, name tags, Class-​A name plates, embroidering.

1995 witnessed the opening of a second store in Massena, New York. We also began attending gun shows and outdoorsman shows throughout the Northeastern United States.

In 1997 Bradley’s relocated to our current location in Evans Mills, New York.

1998 — 1999 marked the apex of Bradley’s road show operations. Outdoorsman shows and gun shows led to shows at small military installations.

In 2008 Bradley’s expanded again by creating two new divisions, Bradley’s Promotion Shop and Bradley’s Uniform Prep.
